Staffing News
The interview process for our new assistant principal kicks off on Tuesday. The first round of interviews will continue through the week after Spring Break. We will be interviewing approximately 10 candidates. The panel will recommend their top choices, and then Courtney and I will invite those candidates back for a second round. We are aiming to make a recommendation by March 29. Thank you to everyone who offered to be a part of this committee. Your interview committee in addition to Courtney and me includes Julie Kastor, Jamie Herridge, Connie Kubis, Veronica Sims, Gina Marlow, Jane Balsam, and Roshunda Knight.

Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who attended and hosted the LA Vertical team meeting. It was great to see the leadership of our staff. It was a productive meeting that allowed all of us to gather insight on the progress of our writing curriculum.
Thank you to all staff who hosted an E-track group. I know our students enjoyed this time thoroughly. I hope you enjoyed the personal connections you were able to make with students you might not typically interact with on a daily basis. Our final E-track sessions will take place in May (May 2, 9, 23 & 24). You will be able to either offer the same course or something new.
